One Empty Seat

by Yilin S. from United States

Synopsis: My high school is famous for the train track nearby where students decide to end their lives. The last girl who jumped said she hoped it would make adults make certain changes that would help us. It didn’t even work. And so, I wrote this poem in the hopes that adults reading it would understand what is going on at my school and help us. And I hope the teens who read it will not feel alone.
